The Florida mum who inspired the Reddit 'paintception' craze has now received the painting of her holding her own painting, in a further development to the bizarre saga.

Cindi Decker's son confirmed on Reddit that a portrait of her by Swedish artist Kristoffer Zetterstran had been shipped to her home.

Posting a photo of her gleefully holding it up, he simply wrote: "It arrived."

Ms Decker said she was lost for words, adding that the painting was "absolutely beautiful". Many users responded to the post saying "here we go again", speculating that someone may now in turn produce a painting of this photo.
